Sodium Ring / Cholesterol Ring

Cholesterol ring is a result from a chemical imbalance in the body, pertaining to non organic sodium excess, calcium out of solution, as well as high cholesterol and high triglycerides in the blood.

Cholesterol Ring is also a non-specific liver marking. It may transpire when hepatopathies (liver disease) diabetes mellitus or hypo-activity of the thyroid are present.

When there is a problem with the inorganic sodium and excessive fats in the body, there may be hardening of the arteries, calcium spurs and deposits, joint problems and so on.

This does not necessarily mean that the blood levels of cholesterol are high but indicate there is an imbalance of fat metabolism.

The cholesterol ring is a white, opaque ring that appears around the outer edge of the iris either partially or wholly.

Iridology History

The first use of the word Augendiagnostik ("eye diagnosis," loosely translated as iridology) began with Ignaz von Peczely, a 19th-century Hungarian physician. The most common story is that he got the idea for this diagnostic tool after seeing similar streaks in the eyes of a man he was treating for a broken leg and the eyes of an owl whose leg von Peczely had broken many years before. At the First International Iridological Congress, Ignaz von Peczely's nephew, August von Peczely, dismissed this myth as apocryphal, and maintained that such claims were irreproducible.

The German contribution in the field of natural healing is due to a minister Pastor Felke, who developed a form of homeopathy for treating specific illnesses and described new iris signs in the early 1900s. However, Pastor Felke was subject to long and bitter litigation. The Felke Institute in Gerlingen, Germany was established as a leading center of iridological research and training.
Iridology became better known in the United States in the 1950s, when Bernard Jensen, an American chiropractor, began giving classes in his own method. This is in direct relationship with P. Johannes Thiel, Eduard Lahn (who became an American under the name of Edward Lane) and J Haskell Kritzer. Jensen insisted on the importance of the body's exposure to toxins, and the use of natural foods as detoxifiers.

Few medical researchers managed to secure funding to study the possible non-visual functions of the eye. In a paper published in Medical Hypotheses (Waniek, 1987), one group tried to explain the observed patterns of iris transparency that distribute light into the ora serrata (the edge of the optic retina) by postulating a functio ocularis systemica (systemic eye function). Based on this hypothesis, the researchers developed an experimental trans-iridal light therapy method; however, no other confirmation of the theory and method exists to date. Other results from this research include early attempts at computerized iris imaging for the purpose of iridologic diagnosis (Popescu et al., 1986).

What is Iridology?

Iridology is the science of analyzing the delicate structures of the iris, the colored portion of the eye; as well as the sclera, the white part surrounding the iris. Iridology specializes in the relationship between diseases and the shape, color, signs and markings of the eye.

The iris is the most complex tissue of the body meeting the outside world. It is an extension of the brain, being incredibly endowed with hundreds of thousands of nerve endings, microscopic blood vessels, muscle and other tissues. The iris is connected to every organ and tissue of the body by way of the brain and nervous system. The nerve fibers receive their impulses by way of their connections to the optic nerve, optic thalami and spinal cord. Both sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are present in the iris.

Iridology reveals the way we have built our bodies. Iridology can identify tissue integrity to show inherently weak or strong body organs. It can locate inflammation or degeneration in tissues to identify them as possible causes of physical complaints. Iridology can locate toxic material in an organ. Iridology can locate vitamin and mineral deficiencies which is helpful since toxic settlements and these deficiencies are often found together. When inherently weak organs are vitamin and mineral deficient, the tissues will not function well enough to throw off toxins
Iridology allows you to see your entire body, including every organ and system, all at once.

Professional analysis by a Clinical Iridologist will show you:
The current locus of any disfunction in your body
An audit trail of any past trauma or disease damage
Your genetic inheritance, including strengths and weaknesses

Let iridology reveal the problem lurking underneath the problems you can see, and arm you in your quest to regain control of your body and your health.
